Aircraft Radius modification

Featured Replies

If you change the radius of the 737-800/900--will this change the aircrafts performance or cause other problems? The reason I ask is that I read (I think it was in the afcad manual or a "tips and tricks" newsletter that used to go out) that by changing the aircraft radius and, using afcad, changing a specific parking spot radius to match it (using a number lower than any other aircraft used by fs9)--ground control, upon landing, would direct you to that spot every time. I have done that in my posky 737-900 which I used to fly before getting the pdmg 737-900 and it did always work. I am somewhat worried about changing the radius of the pdmg because of the complexity and work that has been put into it, particularly with the use of the FMC which the posky did not have. Thanks,Chris

not in v4.in v5, i will take the radius of the plane, to help me find a suitable gate at the arrival airport. i will be looking for a gate that suit's these criteria, in this ordersame "company", right size, and emptyif none are availableright size and emptyif none are availablea "company" gate, right size, and occupied - i will nuke the ai, and free up the gateif none are availableright size and occupied - i will nuke the ai, and free up the gateif none are availableregardless of company, regardless of sizeis my algorithm going to be messed up, with a bunch of planes with rediculous radii?

Sorry JD, I meant to post this to the PMDG forumn. By the time I had finished typing all that up I came to that realization. Unfortunately the only way to copy and paste everything was to post first, then copy. Good to know though about parking/gate assignments in the next version.Thanks,Chris
